Just had this last week with an old IIsi I had given my mom. Try disconnecting all peripherals. Someone on this list previously said to try unplugging keyboard. I tried that on mom's machine. That wasn't the problem. Then I unplugged the external hard drive from the SCSI connector to plug in my zip drive (her floppy drive wasn't working either and she has no CD drive, so I needed a way to load software, reinstall system, etc.). Problem solved. I was able to shut down normally. So it was a problem with the external hard drive (or cable), not the SCSI itself, since my zip worked fine. Unfortunately, she still can't use the computer because, as I leaned over to unplug my zip drive, I smelled something funny, felt the top of her very hot monitor, and immediately unplugged it and told her not to use it. But for you, again, try disconnecting peripherals. Carolyn -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
